Comment on Groupon’s Rise and eBay’s Decline by sun

There are gross sales (income) and business expenses which give you a net margin. What is a gross margin? Groupon is still new and while it may be a darling of many, it has also received a lot of negative word of mouth from business owners. Groupon also has a lot to learn in terms of site performance, stability, and design. When the Nordstrom Rack Groupon was published, the traffic made for a very poor buyer experience. Buyers were also allowed to buy $50 GC for $25 from various cities then converting these GCs online to Nordstrom (not Rack) gift cards. The inability to print Groupons righ away is annoying. You also don't have a clear way to integrate user accounts between Groupon login and Facebook login. Groupon is a one trick pony. It only has the first to market advantage and they will only be successful as the amount of white powder they can blow up the ass of business owners.
